re: Grizzlies have agreed to send Gay to Toronto in a rumored 3 team deal

This deal kind of reminds me of when the Nuggets traded Nene. He's a good player and all(Gay), but he just isn't worth the money he is owed over the next two years (18+ avg). You get Prince back who still manages to be efficient in isolation plays this year, and defends decently well, something that will work will the whole Memphis Grit&Grind. Ed Davis > Speights who they traded a week ago. Austin Daye is pretty much on the Anthony Randolph project level at this point.

Detroit is 5.5 back of Boston. If the chips fall and Detroit continues to play .500+ ball (6-6 in Jan), maybe they can catch if Drummond improves like he has been. Singler proves to be a solid player when he starts playing more (shooting above 40% from 3 in the past couple games). But that's 3 maybes so probably not going to happen.

As everybody else has said, there is way too much duplicity with Tornoto's wings. But as an upside, we finally get to see Lowry with no other PG that he is battling for playing time.
